Background
Numerous organisations, including UN bodies and human rights groups, have reported acts of violence, laws, and rhetoric which we believe disproportionately affect Muslim communities in India. We urge the UK Government to raise these concerns with India’s Government, consider human rights when engaging in trade and strategic agreements with India as a democratic partner, and reaffirm the UK’s commitment to protecting religious freedom and minority rights globally.
